Whether it is redshirt-senior Kenny Guiton or junior Braxton Miller playing, the sky seems to be the limit for what is becoming a high-powered offensive attack for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. Making his first career start against California (1-2) Saturday, Guiton led the offense to a seasonhigh 608 total yards while tossing four touchdown passes. With Miller looking on from the sideline, unable to play due to a sprained MCL in his left knee, it was as if Guiton had been the starter all along. “That was fun to watch,” coach Urban Meyer said. “When you’re balanced, 332 (yards) rushing, 276 (yards) passing… of course that’s what you hope it (the offense) looks like.” The bulk of those rushing yards came from the legs of redshirt-senior running back Jordan Hall, who finished the game with career-highs in yards (168) and carries (30) while visiting the end zone three times himself. Hall said he was enjoying himself so much, he wished the game clock hadn’t run out. “That was real fun. I wish we had another quarter,” Hall said. “Like big Marc (redshirt-senior offensive lineman Marcus Hall) said earlier, I wish we had five quarters… I loved being out there.” The Buckeyes (3-0) and Golden Bears combined for more than 1,100 yards of total offense in the high tempo contest, but in the end it was “the old righthander” Guiton and company who came out on top to extend the nation’s current longest winning streak to 15 games. In what has become his standard protocol,

LIZ YOUNG Campus editor young.1693@osu.edu As Ohio State looks to take the next step on the path to finding a new president, it appears the remainder of the process will not be as transparent as some officials originally suggested. OSU assistant vice president of media and public relations Gayle Saunders said Sunday the university does not intend to make the candidates for the presidency public. “There has been discussion that as candidates are narrowed, because these may be candidates who are currently in positions (at other universities), that information will be private,” Saunders said. A Sunday university statement, emailed to The Lantern by Saunders, reaffirmed that. “As the work of the Presidential Search Committee continues, it is important to establish a process that allows candidates to maintain some privacy, and it is with that consideration that the names of final
candidates will remain confidential,” the statement read. Other details surrounding the process are not as clear cut, however. Various Presidential Search Committee officials have sent mixed messages about their desires for the search to be either transparent
or secretive, and while an executive search firm was selected, university officials have said no contract exists yet. The same firm was hired by Louisiana State University, which was sued earlier this year for concealing its presidential finalists from the public. OSU has employed a private

The Ohio State Police Division and the Columbus Division of Police broke up an organized march on the corner of Lane Avenue and High Street Saturday night. The march was in memory of Daymon Dodson, an area rapper and DJ who passed away in 2006 of an epileptic seizure, and marked the eighth remembrance since his death in 2006. The march and other organized activities are known as Daymon Day. Three people were arrested after police stopped the parade with pepper spray at about 9 p.m., according to The Columbus Dispatch. Police said the group required a special duty escort but no officer signed up for the event, although the group said it had a permit to march, according to the Dispatch.
The parade began at 8 p.m. at Tuttle Park, located at 240 W. Oakland Ave., before traveling down Lane Avenue where police dispersed the group. About 60 people were walking in the memorial march, according to The Dispatch. Some members of the march did not immediately respond to comment Sunday evening, but the group’s Facebook page released a statement concerning the encounter with police. “Daymon Day is nothing more than a group of family and friends getting together to celebrate life. For the past seven years Daymon Day has served as a meaningful, peaceful and inspiring event. We are deeply saddened by the events that occurred last night during our 8th annual Daymon Day Parade,” the statement said. University Police and Columbus Police representatives did not immediately respond to calls requesting comment about the notice Sunday evening.
